Book excerpt: NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER • Pulitzer Prize winner John Cheever’s classic novel about one eccentric New England family, inspired by the author's own adolescence. The Wapshots have called the quintessential Massachusetts fishing village of St. Botolphs home for eons, but now it is time for the next generation—brothers Moses and Coverly—to go out and see the world. Moses heads to New York City and, eventually, a remote island in the South Pacific, while his brother travels south to Washington, D.C., and a job “so secret that it can’t be discussed here.” Meanwhile, back in St. Botolphs, their father, Captain Leander, clashes with his fearsome Cousin Honora, who controls the family purse strings. By turns tragic and deeply funny, The Wapshot Chronicle is a “richly inventive and vividly told” (The New York Times Magazine) work of fiction about one very odd family.

Download or read book Riding the Roller Coaster written by Charles K. Hyde and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2003-02-01 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive history of the Chrysler Corporation, this book is intended for readers interested in the history of automobiles and of American business, and for fans and critics of Chrysler’s products. From the Chrysler Six of 1924 to the front-wheel-drive vehicles of the 70s and 80s to the minivan, Chrysler boasts an impressive list of technological "firsts." But even though the company has catered well to a variety of consumers, it has come to the brink of financial ruin more than once in its seventy-five-year history. How Chrysler has achieved monumental success and then managed colossal failure and sharp recovery is explained in Riding the Roller Coaster, a lively, unprecedented look at a major force in the American automobile industry since 1925. Charles Hyde tells the intriguing story behind Chrysler-its products, people, and performance over time-with particular focus on the company's management. He offers a lens through which the reader can view the U.S. auto industry from the perspective of the smallest of the automakers who, along with Ford and General Motors, make up the "Big Three." The book covers Walter P. Chrysler's life and automotive career before 1925, when he founded the Chrysler Corporation, to 1998, when it merged with Daimler-Benz. Chrysler made a late entrance into the industry in 1925 when it emerged from Chalmers and Maxwell, and further grew when it absorbed Dodge Brothers and American Motors Corporation. The author traces this journey, explaining the company's leadership in automotive engineering, its styling successes and failures, its changing management, and its activities from auto racing to defense production to real estate. Throughout, the colorful personalities of its leaders-including Chrysler himself and Lee Iacocca-emerge as strong forces in the company's development, imparting a risk-taking mentality that gave the company its verve.

Book excerpt: A whole new journey begins, but for millions, the journey ends. In this ninth year's worth of entries from a diary stored on a futuristic recording device found after a house fire, Andrew Woodmaker gets a closer involvement with the British space program than he could ever have dreamed of. In 2022, tensions rise further in the Middle East, with Israel and Iran glaring at each other over the threat of nuclear weapons, while Saudi Arabia’s civil war continues to rage. Andrew Woodmaker receives an unexpected opportunity, but one which comes at a price. Should he stay with what he knows, or give it all up on the possibility of a dream coming true? Nobody knows if this is a work of fiction or a true record of how things happened, and will happen. By reading the diary, some things may have already begun to change, and the future is not what it was. But it could be that this is how it would have been.
Download or read book The Architecture Chronicle written by Jan Kattein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last 30 years, technological, social, economic and environmental changes have brought about the most dramatic evolution to architectural practice that has taken place since the profession emerged during the Italian Renaissance. Whilst these changes have transformed the way architects work, few contemporary books discuss architectural practice. The Architecture Chronicle sets out to define the role of the contemporary architect in the light of these changes. Most books on architecture start when a building is complete, carefully editing out any evidence of the design and production process. The Architecture Chronicle engages with the design and production process. It investigates how and by whom design decisions are made and executed. Chapter 1 is a diary reporting on the design and realisation of five stage sets and one urban intervention over a period of four years, starting on 16 December 2003. The diary is intercepted by references that are, where appropriate, carefully integrated in the overall narrative. Chapter 2 reflects on the diary to discover patterns and cross-references and to draw conclusions. The contemporary architect can be defined as three distinct characters. The architect-inventor challenges conventions and questions the social status quo. The architect-activist transgresses the boundary of the profession and enters the construction process. The architect-arbitrator engages the audience to realise the ambitious project. The Architecture Chronicle concludes that the contemporary architect still draws and writes, but that it is often the architect’s ability to engage and direct that asserts his or her status. To assert his or her status in the design team, the architect’s ability to talk and to act is more important than his or her ability to draw and write.

In 2019, the election is on in the UK, but can the government reap the rewards of their recent military victory? Andrew Woodmaker finds his life heading in the right direction once more, but will his ambition to discover the truth lead to more than he can handle? Nobody knows if it is a work of fiction or a true record of how things happened, and will happen. By reading the diary, some things may have already begun to change, and the future is not what it was. But it could be that this is how it would have been.
Download or read book Donald J Trump written by Roger Vendam and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, written in a casual light-hearted manner, tells the story of the first year of TRUMP’s accident prone presidency, on the home front and abroad. At home, the book presents a longer view than the usual daily pro- or anti-TRUMP media frenzy. Based on his campaign promises, it highlights a pattern of controversial, disruptive if not deconstructive behaviour in the TRUMPIAN sense of the word, affecting the US rapidly and negatively on political, economic, trade, social and societal issues simultaneously. Abroad, TRUMP claimed his unwillingness to act as the sheriff of the world during his campaign, but broke this promise early in his presidency. The book covers each of his on the spur thought out foreign policies, resulting in TRUMPIAN meddling in the affairs of other countries such as North Korea, the Middle East and the status of Jerusalem. It shows how the TRUMP administration is trying to force the world to accept its unilateral, harmful and unpalatable recipe, a complete reversal and an extraordinary change of track since World War II in US politics. This book on TRUMP, the first by a European author published in the US, presents with the president in the leading role, an insight on American politics at home and illustrates the serious adverse impact of his foreign adventures, an aspect most US readers are not aware of or blissfully ignore.

He will fail, and he will succeed, both beyond his expectations. And he will experience first hand the damage one man can cause to further his own dispicable desires. Nobody knows if this is a work of fiction or a true record of how things happened, and will happen.
